After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns pulled away from the Spurs 103-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
